The RS-232 interface was standard equipment on the Omni-V.
The Paragon I used an optional interface board (model 258), which
is no longer available from us. Each of these radios had a unique
computer command set. This was changed for the Omni-VI and
Paragon II, both of which use the same computer command set.
In addition a separate two line serial interface was added aside
from the standard RS-232 port, usable with our (discontinued) model
305 level converter or the Icom CT-IV level converter.
The Omni-VI and Paragon II can emulate Icom transceivers under
computer control. The Icom interface was chosen for the Omni-VI
and Paragon II because it was the most well-documented of the
available interfaces, and we were disappointed by the lack of
software written for the Paragon and Omni-V transceivers. We
have not written software for use with the Omni-VI or Paragon II,
and have no intention of doing so in the future. We also do not
specifically endorse any manufacturer's software package for use
with our transceivers.
